I doubt it is related, but within the last couple days after uploading a file onto catbox, the button to click to copy the upload link now includes a space at the start before the https of the link it copies. Could that be breaking something?
I have no idea of the api logistics with pic8 and catbox, just thought it might be related. When I paste the copied link into IDM or the browser address bar I need to manually remove the space as it breaks the link.
Perhaps that could explain the intermittent nature. I'm not sure if pic8 mirrors the upload to one host and then mirrors that file on that host to another host, or if it is a single upload to pic8 that is mirrored to the others. If the first host is random and catbox is the first host, if that link is then mirrored to another host by pic8 then it might be a broken link being mirrored to the others.
Just theorizing. I know nothing of details, but I like to try and help with solving curious issues.

I do believe this is the issue, actually. I can't tell if catbox changed something on their end (have to suspect this) because nothing changed on pic8's end. One of the remediations put in place today is to strip the (2) newline characters added to the catbox links.
Thanks for the suggestion
You're welcome. I'm glad it helped and that you were able to adjust it quickly to remove this odd addition of theirs to the link and resolve the issue at least for now.
Did you lstrip? 😄
It was an issue caused not by returning the links, but in the intermediate steps
simple fix
